Frequently Asked Questions How long have you been recruiting physicians? We've been specializing in physician and physician executive search since 1993. How do you go about your sourcing process? We use advertising, direct mail and word-of-mouth referrals. In addition, we source candidates through attendance at conferences, residents' meetings, our website and Internet resources. We have established a good reputation as a knowledgeable and ethical company. Candidates frequently call us on the basis of our reputation. Canadian-trained physicians who have been working in the US sometimes call for placement back home in Canada. We can also source candidates through our association with The Alliance of Medical Recruiters and The National Coalition of Health Care Recruiters. AMR and NCHCR are two groups consisting of over 200 US physician recruiters who share resources to give the best service. We work with Canadian, American and International candidates. What specialties do your firm cover? We cover all physician specialties as well as Physician Executives. How in-depth is the screening of candidates? The screening process begins with an in-depth telephone interview with the candidate, and continues with conversations with the spouse (if possible and appropriate) so that we can get a clear focus on what the candidate is looking for and how the family might fit with your community. When a site visit is arranged we check the status of the candidate's license. To protect confidentiality, we normally check references only when there is serious preliminary interest between candidate and facility. We send you these references written in a form that is almost verbatim so you can get an accurate feel for the information. How familiar are you with each client? We like to know the details that will help us sell your facility and the community, the details of the job, and what you want in a candidate. We need to know compensation ranges and specific details of each situation, including any political landmines that might exist. We also want to learn how you personally like to work so that we can accommodate your style and needs. With retained searches we will visit and work with the recruitment committee to develop suitable materials and plans for recruitment. What will you do for me that will make my job easier? We use your time effectively. We help you develop a search strategy that accounts for various contingencies and accommodates the candidate's needs. We provide standardization among candidate presentations that includes CV, our profile, and detailed notes and points that will help you attract the candidate. We work with you to determine the best approaches and selling points. We can work with your committees and the community to develop strategies for interviewing and selection. To attract a good candidate the phone and site interviews must be done right and the follow up should be excellent. We help you take a professional approach. We provide a full service and attend to any other specific additional tasks that you would like us to undertake.
